Last summer I got Covid again and ended up in ICU in a hospital in Dalyan, Turkey! Funnily enough I am still waiting for my Insurance claim to be processed, 6 months on. As a result my writing just about stopped. Yes I do add some notes into my plans every day, but sitting downContinue reading “Back to writing”

Christmas
I was getting close to quitting any idea of being a writer. I have three books on Amazon but few sales. I was walking on the beach today in Hawana, Oman. I have outline plans for at least 9 more books and so I decided i should keep going. Then when I got home IContinue reading “Christmas”
5. Camels and Goats
It still makes me smile when I see the road sign indicating Beware of Camels! On my way into the city I have to travel along some back roads and a long dual carriageway, all surrounded by open land. The local farmers have various herds of camels that seem to just wander freely around theContinue reading “5. Camels and Goats”
4. End of term looming.
Well we’ve still got three weeks before school finishes for the summer. However the attitude of many of our students seems to be Exams are over so I’m not coming to school anymore.

3 Flying like lead balloons.
Of course we had to do our test flights. I wanted to go out to the outside balcony overlooking the sports field – actually it is an astro-turf football pitch – but they all complained that it was too hot outside.

I suppose realistically I left that ‘home’ at 19 when I went off to the Polytechnic. A new life, a new world, a new set of people;Continue reading “School blog – Intro”

A Bridge to Far. Climbing slowly upwards from the Vale of Glam Organ (where lived a girl of some renown) the party followed the old Roaming Road toward the bridge over troubled waters. Offal’s ravine was at its narrowest at this point due to him having a bit of a hangover on the day heContinue reading “Chapter 19”

Problems in Both. The approach to the coast turned out to be very pleasant. The smell of the salt in the air made their spirits rise and the thought of a good nights kip surrounded by hot chicks, and the possibility of fresh meat for the Orc babe, made them so much more contented. ExceptContinue reading “Chapter 14”
Chapter 12
I see a Pixy and I want it painted black. The Chancellor’s Chief Hench thing gathered together his team of Brownies to do the dirty on Peter. They needed to dig deep into his past and uncover any kind of trouble they could. Was there any scandal surrounding sex or finance? Did he have aContinue reading “Chapter 12”
Chapter 2
The hero The screams were unmerciful. It was as though all the sinners of the world had combined into one unholy union and screeched their anguish into a synthesised megaphone. Was someone being whipped a cripple? The yelps of misery continued but fluctuated with a moaning like the desperate sob of a Brontosaurus attempting toContinue reading “Chapter 2”
